Art of Meditation: a Relaxing Meditation Course
TUESDAY, 25 MAY 2010
The Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) announces a course with one of their Senior International teachers, Ms Sangeeta Jani. The course, called "the Art of Meditation," will teach a relaxing meditation technique which is easy to learn and easy to practice. The course will be held at the Holiday Inn, 1740 N First Street, San Jose, CA starting on June 5, 2010.
According to the Foundation's website, millions have taken the course across the world.
"This technique has changed my life and I am surprised at how easy it was to learn. I calm down and relax instantly when I practice the meditation" - says Elaine who took the course in Los Altos with another senior AOLF teacher, Denise Marcus.
"I travel a lot and the meditation has rid me of jet-lag. Unlike guided meditations, I can do this on my own, anywhere, anytime" - says Gary from Fremont, CA, who has taken the course a few years ago and practices regularly.
"I have tried transcendental and mindful meditation. The Art of Meditation technique is something I have been able to stick to" - says Zhinhong, another participant.
The benefits of meditation have been well documented. A study at the University of Kentucky, found that meditation could offset the sluggishness of sleep deprivation better than a nap. Researchers found that even novice mediators improved their performance more after 40 minutes of meditation than after a 40-minute nap. Meditation helped even after a full night of sleep deprivation.
Various other studies have shown the benefits of Meditation to include
Reduction in stress
Deep relaxation
Healing of both physical and mental trauma
Restoration of normal sleep patterns
Improved levels of productivity
The course starts on June 5th and is three two-hour sessions spread over three days. For more details and to register, visit the Art of Meditation in San Jose website. (http://www.artoflivingsfba.org/MahaSahaj2010/)
